Riverhead (now Cisco Guard) is by far the best choice. We had a little in house shoot-out where we attacked multiple vendors' hardware and graphed their results into the millions of packets per second. Due to NDA's we are not allowed to disclose which vendors, nor their results, but I can say that Riverhead successfully defended against more than twice the load of its competitors...at the time it was able to stop approximately 1.5 million SYN packets per second while still allowing legitimate traffic. IMHO there is no other choice. --Joel -----Original Message----- From: Kyle Quest [mailto:Kyle.Quest () networkengines com] Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2005 2:42 PM To: focus-ids () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Denial of Service: Commercial Defense products You should really look at Top Layer if you are serious about defending against denial of service attacks. Don't even waste your time on Mazu or McAfee. Tipping Point is suppose to get better at it as well (they were working on some news things the last time I had a chance to talk to one of their top guys), but I don't know if it's already available. I would recommend looking at the NSS reports (http://www.nss.co.uk/download/download.htm). Unfortunately, the online version of the report that includes Top Layer review is no longer available, but you can still buy it for a couple of bucks.

In "Internet Denial of Service: Attack and Defense Mecahnisms" book, I noticed 7 commercial products. 1. Mazu Enforcer by Mazu Networks 2. Peakflow by Arbor Networks 3. WS Series Apliances by Webscreen Technologies 4. Captus IPS by Captus Networks 5. MANAnet Shield by CS3 6. Cisco Traffic Anomaly Detector XT and Cisco Guard XT 7. StealthWatch by Lancope Since I'm new with this type of products, is there any reference out there to help me choose the right solution to my customer ? Is there any problem if I use IPS (ie: TippingPoint, McAfee) for this solution ? Thanks.
